That's just the way the spears work. I think I agree, though. I'd rather have thinner spears. I'm thinking about adding them to the list of visual mods on my ABM, but I'm thinking it may be too much.

PQ, I really think I could say both leave them and take them off. I like that they give a bit of an accent to break up the black, but I think if it were me, I'd use different accents. If you don't want any other accents (hockey stick stripes, fender accents, etc.), leave them on. Just my $.02
